I followed the Beginning Embedded Electronics tutorial and it seems like my hex file was successfully transferred to my ATMEGA8:

avrdude done. Thank you.
I have an LED connected to pin 28 as shown in the tutorial, together with a 330 ohm resistor towards ground. The problem is that the LED is not blinking. I have tried to change the polarity.
